Read MoreMarion Boyer’s Early Career Blog
Marion Boyer is a fourth‑year PhD candidate at the CERVO Brain Research Centre, Université Laval and 2025 recipient of the Collaborative Research Training Award. Her work explores the molecular mechanisms that drive neuromuscular junction denervation in ALS and why nerve–muscle connections progressively fail. Through an NMD4C Collaborative Research Training Award, she completed hands‑on motoneuron training at The Neuro, strengthening CERVO–McGill collaborations—an experience she reflects on in her early‑career blog.

Human bodies are complex, difficult to understand biological machines. I have been forever fascinated by the mechanics and processes that make us tick. In my previous career as a biomedical engineer, I sought to study and then design processes that could help make machines work. I was always overjoyed when an engineering team could bring together multiple different and seemingly unrelated parts to create a machine that accomplished something wonderous. And there is no greater machine, in my eyes, than the human body.
